1 census tracts · pop 6,948 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3.8/10 · range 3.8–3.8

Kellswater Bridge maps to a single census tract in Kannapolis, NC, population 6,948. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3.8/10, placing it in the Lower tier. Cost burden runs 45% against 29.5% citywide, putting Kellswater Bridge 15.3% over its own city.

Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1.6/10. 21% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate.

Among the 5 mapped neighborhoods of Kannapolis, it ranks #5 by risk, the lower third. For a like-for-like read, Oakwood and Settlers Ridge score within a fraction of it. Poverty sits at 7%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

One tract means one number: 3.8/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
